This course lectured for graduate students of chemical engineering. The focus is on numerical techniques
of solving different types of differential equations used particularly in transport phenomena.
Contents:
1. Initial value problems (IVPs)
2. Boundary value problems (BVPs)
3. Partial differential equations (PDEs)
4. Finite volume techniques
5. Grid generation
